Celebrity influence and personal responsibility

I don’t think it’s fair to blame celebrities or television for teen drinking, teens doing drugs or for young girls getting pregnant.

I think that people should only be held responsible for their own actions and not the effects that they have on the many brain dead teenagers who thinks that they are cool if they act like the people on television or in magazines.

Though I can’t argue for why teenagers would do drugs, because I know that I don’t want to do or even try drugs, I do know that when I drink or when I have sex I don’t do it because celebrities do it, cause I only do the things I want to do.

I believe that teenagers and their parents use celebrities bad behavior and bad choices as excuses for themselves or their kids and it is just plain stupid to blame others for the things you don’t want to admit is your own fault.

I know that a lot of my friends do what they do because they see it on shows like: Gossip Girl, 90210 and paradise hotel, I watch the same shows too but unlike some of those friends I can actually tell the difference between what to do in real life and what happens in teen shows.
